Chapter 114
Xia Ziyan rubbed her forehead helplessly: "What's so good about me, the working people are so kind." Human curiosity can't be eradicated in any era.

Tan Wenqing blushed: "I didn't expect Miss to be the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I think Miss Tan has such talent after suffering so many years in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Tan is really ashamed."

Xia Ziyan let out a haha ​​to perfunctory the past, no matter how smart a person is, it is impossible for a fool to become a genius in a month.

After a brief look at the accounts, Tan Wenqing has done a meticulous job, which is quite good, and she has found a treasure.He was taught how to write Arabic numerals like a primary school student. Tan Wenqing didn't know what it was useful for, but he still studied it seriously.

Xia Ziyan saw his doubts and wanted to tease him, so she intentionally asked a question: "Suppose you earn 250 taels in January, 870 taels in February, and 730 taels in March, and then three Three thousand six hundred and ninety-nine taels were paid out in a month, so you don’t need to calculate, how many taels are left?”

Tan Wenqing racked his brains and buried his head in the calculation, but he had no abacus, so he could only calculate slowly.

"Abacus has its strengths, but it also has its disadvantages. It is not easy to carry. In addition, once there is a movement, a bead is moved, and it has to be recalculated."

Xia Ziyan got the answer in a while, and saw the numbers she just taught him written on her paper.

Xia Ziyan said again: "I'll give you another one, assuming that the income in January is 250 taels, double that in February, and three times the total in March, which is less than 850 nine taels, you do the math. How many taels in three months?"

Tan Wenqing was already dumbfounded, without an abacus, he couldn't figure out whether it was good or not.And even if there is an abacus, it takes a long time to calculate.But his miss figured it out after a while.Still use the numbers I taught him.

Seeing Tan Wenqing's admiring expression, Xia Ziyan said triumphantly: "You know how powerful these numbers are. This is just pediatrics. Once you learn it, you will know how powerful it is. First, get familiar with these numbers, and I will do it bit by bit. Teach you. Using this to calculate multiplication and division is much faster than the abacus."

The abacus is also a great invention of our country, but human technology is constantly improving, and it is gradually used less and less.

Leaving behind Tan Wenqing who was stupid, Xia Ziyan and Zi'er put on veils in order not to attract too much attention, and came to Wangjiang Tower to ask for a small private room, which solved the problem of eating.More than half of King Han's 100 taels of silver remained.

It's not far from Xiangfu, Xia Ziyan just had a full meal, thinking of taking a walk to eat, and slowly strolled to Xiangfu with Zi'er.

Unexpectedly, when he came to an alley, several people were fighting, blocking his way.

Taking a closer look, isn't that guard An Yue who is beside King Cang?He was guarding an ordinary carriage, of course, the horse was dead, only the carriage.

Four masked men in black were fighting around him, and they seemed to be martial arts masters.Presumably there should be King Cang in the carriage, otherwise An Yue would not have risked his life to protect him.Who is it that dares to assassinate a prince in broad daylight?Although the prince is not liked by the emperor, he is a prince after all, connected by blood.Prince, is it for that seat?The palace fighting drama on TV has been staged many times. For the high throne, brothers fight each other wits and bravery.Definitely not King Han.

Zi'er raised her foot and was about to kill her, this was her former master.No, the current Miss Master didn't order, so don't act rashly.Turning to look at the lady, I saw excitement in the lady's eyes... definitely excited, yes, what the hell is this...
